你可以把POOLS看作一座艺术画廊，你只是四处走动，倾听声音。游戏没有多少任务或谜题，几乎只有少数迷宫。有时POOLS会考验你的方向感，但大多数时候你只是……在那里。注意：游戏中没有怪物追赶你，也没有突然跳出来吓你的东西，但氛围可能让人感到压抑。POOLS利用迷路、黑暗和狭窄空间的恐惧来制造紧张感。游戏没有用户界面和对话，也没有背景音乐。取而代之的是，通过声音和回声让你感觉身临其境。声音和回声会根据房间的不同而变化。在水中行走速度更慢。这些细节让体验更真实，营造出紧张的氛围。游戏没有传统意义上的故事，没有角色可见，也没有需要读取的笔记。但随着探索深入，你会发现世界在你周围发生变化。房间的外观和感觉都不同。每个章节都有自己的特色。你不断探索新的地方，每个地方都有自己的谜团。本体游戏包含六个独特章节，每个章节大约需要10到30分钟。POOLS受到网络现象Liminal spaces、Found footage和Backrooms的启发——尤其是“Backrooms Pools”或“Poolrooms”。最早提出Poolrooms概念的艺术家之一是Jared Pike。其他灵感来源包括：Matt Studios：2022年的Poolrooms视频Mortain ColorsAnemoiapolis: Chapter 1，Andrew Quist创作Kane Pixels：The Backrooms (Found Footage)

If you're not careful and you slip through the wrong crack in reality, you'll find yourself in The Wetrooms, where nothing exists but the cold, unyielding touch of endless damp tiles and dark pools. The oppressive silence broken only by the distant echo of dripping water, and the unnerving sensation of being watched by something just beyond your sight. The labyrinth of pools rooms stretches out in all directions, an infinite maze of dimly lit, glistening corridors and eerily still pools. Every turn feels dangerous, every step echoing louder than the last. Move quickly if you catch a glimpse of something moving beneath the water's surface—because it has definitely noticed you. The Wetrooms: Liminal Pools is a first person horror puzzle game set in a surreal, dreamlike world of liminal pools. Navigate through intricate rooms, solve puzzles to proceed, and avoid and escape from a malevolent presence.

# GAMEPLAY: "If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.." Exploring the Backrooms, you really need to be careful, because you are not the only inhabitant of this strange place. Graphics, sounds, visual effects and character animations are made as similar as possible to the original “Founded Footage" from Backrooms.

You can also use the weapon modification menu to add a laser sight to your gun for more convenient shooting or a flashlight, which will allow you to better navigate in the dark. # ATMOSPHERE: In this game you will see everything from the point of view of the camera installed on your character. Graphics, sounds, visual effects and character animations are made as similar as possible to the original “Found Footage” from Backrooms.
